3 Chair of the Board Who would have believed that this show would still be growing strong as it embarks on its fourteenth consecutive season in Ottawa? There are very few Broadway shows that have gone on for such a lengthy period. The attractiveness of this unique perspective on history and music is what keeps audiences interested and the driving force behind the musical is Deborah Davis. She and her many talented collaborators keep the show alive and full of energy. A Musical Taste of Our Canadian Heritage is more than a taste. It is a delicious treat. The tens of thousands of Ottawans and visitors who have seen the show in its various iterations have always been delighted by the performance. For the past three years, the show included a special segment to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of While the concept remains the same, the content of the production is evolving. In 2014, is once again honoured to present this extraordinary show to entertain students, teachers and other residents of the National Capital Region. This year, we have a special presentation on Sunday, February 16 (celebrating the Family Day weekend) to kick off our season, at the Algonquin Commons Theatre, and then school shows in April at the Algonquin Commons Theatre followed by school shows at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in May. The incredible support of TD, our major sponsor, is what enables us to bring you this magical show once again. We are also grateful to other sponsors who help in many ways. Fasten your seat belts and get ready for some enjoyable time travel. Président du conseil Qui aurait cru que ce spectacle gagnerait toujours en popularité alors qu il est à l affiche pour une quatorzième année consécutive à Ottawa? Très peu de spectacles de Broadway ont duré si longtemps. La perspective unique sur l histoire et la musique qui ponctue le spectacle puissant, vivant et plein d énergie qu ont créé Deborah Davis et ses nombreux collaborateurs ont toujours su maintenir l intérêt du public. Notre patrimoine canadien, une odyssée musicale n est pas un spectacle comme les autres. Il s agit d une grande œuvre. Ses nombreuses versions ont séduit des dizaines de milliers d Ottaviens et de visiteurs. Pour les trois dernières années le spectacle comprenait un segment soulignant le 200e anniversaire de la guerre de Bien que le concept demeure le même, le contenu de la production ne cesse d évoluer. En 2014, a encore une fois l honneur de présenter cette œuvre extraordinaire pour divertir des étudiants, professeurs et autres résidents de la région de la capitale nationale. Cette année, nous inaugurons la saison avec une présentation spéciale à l Algonquin Commons Theatre, le dimanche 16 février (dans le cadre du weekend du jour de la Famille). Suivront des spectacles pour étudiants à l Algonquin Commons Theatre, puis au Musée canadien des civilisations en mai. Le soutien incroyable de TD, notre commanditaire principal, est ce qui nous permet de vous présenter à nouveau ce spectacle magique. Nous éprouvons également de la reconnaissance envers tous les autres commanditaires qui nous ont apporté leur aide. Attachez vos ceintures et préparez-vous à faire un agréable voyage dans le temps.
